CHART TOPPERS
Dear CRASH
While looking over my March
issue of CRASH. 1 became
cunous, wtiile reading page 41,
to know two things ;
1. How many copies of a full price
game wouJd s chart -topping
game sell ioi each of the
parficulai formats (.espeoaUy
Spectnan)?
2. How much money dc^es the
programmer receive for his work
if it were a chart lopper?
Joseph C Tervit. Eafftwood,
Glasgow
While looking over my March
iaaue 1 became curious too: Why
haven't t been paid for tbia yet?,
I thought. Hummm. Anyway.
youf queations:
1, H varie* throughoui the year
bow many games have to be
Bold to reach the coveted
Number One Hpot In the charts,
but undoubtahly the biggest
seller is the Christmas NuOitrar
One. Last year tt was
Imageworks' Teenage MutSJit
Hero Tuniss which, to date, bat
lold over 100,000 copies on the
Spectrum (with a total of
600.000 copies across all
computets). Turtles was an
exceptional seller, most Speccy
gomes sell aioimd the 20.000
mark.
2. Iteelance progrommerH are
usually paid an advance sum of
<ash at the beginning of the
project <ie, when they begin
progiammlnQ a game) which
depends on tow long the game
is Uliely to take and UUD bave
royalty payments {fi-12% of the
retail price) on top of that when
the game's on sale. In -house
programmers have a basic
ialary (which varies due to age
and experience) and sometimes
raosive royalties too. Though,
don't be fooled, it's not the
fiaslest way to get rich quick. In
tact, hardly anyone has got rich
quick from programming.
LM
CONFUSED? {YOU WILL BE)
De&rUoyd
How's things? What's life Uke up
youi way? Just writing to give
you a few commenti! on thi^
ntonth's, May, cover tape. WeU.
die games are honestly pretty
good but, 1 must admit, you bave
excelled yourselves with
Countdown To The Death.
It's been some tune since 1 was
hooked on a game, but this one
has got to me hook, Une and
stoker It's very cleverly done.
Isn't ii7 All those mini games
packed into one game. Hangmsji
— simple, Fniit MecMne — okay,
Aflca;iojd-effort — simple.
Memory XtmxQ — a bit of a head-
1 ■^iiifger. R&psat It — one to think
luoui. Okay. I've got through aU
of tbem but then I hit what you
call mystery games. I don't know
what to do with it (or is it
Lhem?). Egyptian hieroglyphics
— aU they do is gobble up my
time and what are the oojies
along the bottom? Time, lose a
life, go to Arkanoid- effort?
After all that here is a bit of
constructive oiticism:
1. You could do with a few moie
pokes on the tape,
2. The Hi-Fire thingy is a bit of a
faice. why don t you kick it mto
touch.
3. A football manager sun game
wouldn't go a miss on the cover
tape.
4. The centrefold poster is a
waste of space.
Mike Fit2patrick, South Shore,
Blackpool
Things are fine, life is good
(except that Enor the mouse has
started gnawing at the plant
shoots I'm trying to bring on m
the office window box).
Counrdown To The De&th was a
bit on the spifty side, you're
right. And don't ask me wtiat all
the odd games are, I get just as
confused. Howrever, you're right
about the so-called oojies on the
bottom (Just stay clear of the
lose- a- life Icon). And your
guestlona answered (everyone's
nuinbering questions now!)...
1. More pokea on tape? We try to
cram as much in as possible, but
there '& only a limited space and
some pokes take up more
memory than roost.
2. It's not B farce. A farce is a
crap play on a West End stage
whjcii. when everyone's clothes
have fallen off, the vicar walks
in [and the audience collapse in
hysterics). This doesn't happen
hi Hi -Fire (it's usually the
blsbop). Anyway, look for a few
changes to Hi Tire next month.
3. There are enough foOty
management games around at
the moment without putting
one on the tape (we try to be
a lightly original). Why not give
Cricket Coach a try. that may be
up your games-playing alley.
4. Judging from the
CrashtiomMdre, most people
loved the centrefold posters
featuring Oil's artwork, so
they're staying. Here, have a
wet haddock lor being so
miserable {sJapi}«

WHY, OH. WHY. OH. WHY?
tBLAMti
Dear Lloyd.
Here are some que^ons;
1. What are the Olibugs?
2. Why IS CRASH caUed CRASH?
Is n because d you read it, you
make your computer crash?
1 3. Why did Amsuad buy Sinclair?
I
4. How is CRASH so skiU?
&, How can you program on the
likes of a Nmtendo if there isn't a
keyboard?
6. Can you send requests to
Turbo Mason to hack oertain
games?
7. On the mlay for Rock Star it
says (m the credits bit},
Hack: Mel Croucher". Etoes this
mean there is a cheat for it? (And
whats Mel Croucher doing
hackmg at games anyway?]
8. 1 have a tjp for +2A users. On
Tteasms Isisnd Dizzy, if you try
to load Ji in 1 28K mode you hear
a loud, steady beep, and it
crashes. However, II you go to 1 3
BASIC, (or 128 BASIC for +2
users), then type SPECTRUM
(enter), it goes into 43K mode.
But. m this 4eK mode, you have
12SK. So. when it bias loaded,
there is m the game music and
speech (although not vetf good),
and all the rest 128K luxuries tb^t
you would not have m normal
4dK modes.
Lee Grant, Pontelsjid.

1. Ollbugs, who make occasional
appeaiant^s, are small monstera
who livt bi the CRASH office. In
walls, lamiMhades and
computers (which they muck
about with until they blow up).
They're mostly harmless; except
lor the black flujfy one which
has an affinity for chainsaws
(bibble, bibble, wibble).
2. It's called CRASH because it's
a dam si^ht more imaginative
(and groovy, for that matter)
than taking the word Slnclsii
and sticking Your or User to the
beginning or end of it. Okay?
3. Because Amstrad know a
good computer wben they gees
one (probably).
4. Because I'm in tt,
5. If intendo progranunen have a
■peciat development system.
wMcb Is not available to the
public (so don't write in asking
where you can buy one).
6. No [well, you could try).
7. Nothing to do with hacking at
all — hack's another word tm
writer (although meant in a
bitchy kinda way) and Mel
wrote the manual.

GRAB A BAG?
Dear Lloyd
When your CRASH (Issue 88)
Powertape came through my
door I loaded up the sibling
game Tbur De Foro&. Within a
hour of playing it I'd got to
Russia, drunk a load of vodka and
won the game. It told me to start
the tape; 1 did, and it gave me a
rather nice scareem with a secret
code on it. The screen lold me
that if 1 was one of the first ten
people to tell Gremlin the
codeword then Id get a Oremlin
goody bag So. did I? Also, would
Nick like me to send him a lew
tips to help other people on theu
way?
Graham Martin, Weymouth,

PS The ooda word was OSTRICH
Yes, you and about SOD other
people all hoping to win a
goodie bag lor being the first
ten to complete Tour De Force,
Problem is, the game was
originally available a few years
ago in the shops and t have the
sneaking suspidoa that all ten
goodie bags have been claimed
Never irund, here's your little bit
of fame and Fve also included
the first batch of people who

nuKh bette/ thought to have inside
your head, is it not?
And taikir>g of imagination,
everyone 5 imaghnation ran. away
lA/ith them last issue in the review.
For a start, the disk version retails
for £ 1 7 99. not £14,99 as Iho review
stated (we tt>ought we must have
taken a wrong tunniing and arrived tn
Bargain City}
And the usuatty bniiianl {powers of
organisation enjoyed by CRASH'S
chum at Domark Clara Edgeley.
resulted m us believing thai an RBf
2 basebaii cap was enclosed m Ll>e
box It isn't Thais only for l6-t}(t
owrters (wtx) have to pay C25 for
tfieir RBi 2)
But (bul> BUT1) if you want to
have a RB! 2 baseball cap. you can*
Jusi sick a cheque or jwslai omUiir

To mai<e up for 1 hose errors,
here's news of a Dornark game lor

£uro Footbatf Champ lets you tale

action viewed from the grandstaid.
Should be lots of fun, eapedalty )s
It's possible to purposely kom, kck
or elbow othier piayerB' and get
away With it (if the mf s not iookrng).
Hope that piece of 'exciting news
makes up for any shattered illusions
from the RBt 2 review (It didn t, I's
